In August last year, my family faced one of its biggest challenges, as we lost one of the funniest, happiest and selfless people we know to cancer, my grandad Tony.

While each day we still miss the laughter and jokes, we reflect on an incredible experience we all had at St Wilfrids Hospice, who cared for him in his final days. The care truly was outstanding and we were taken aback massively by the hard work and relationship building of all the staff that we experienced while we were there

While we cannot thank them enough in making our experience as comfortable as possible during such a difficult time, we knew we would look to raise awareness.

In honour of my grandads love for his family and his two westie dogs, Harry and Louie. I will be walking approximately 33 miles between his two favourite dog walking spots from Hampden Park to Worthing Travelodge on Saturday April 5th 2025. If anyone wishes to join part of this walk, you are more than welcome.

We would be deeply touched, by anyone willing to help donate to this fantastic charity. All funds raised will go directly to St Wilfrids Hospice.

Do you want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money in aid of St Wilfrid's Hospice (Eastbourne) and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
